Can We Go Back? [ Megumi Fushiguro ]

45

Maki pov:

I woke up to the sound of something breaking probably in the kitchen. Slowly I got out of bed to stretch my whole body before leaving my room to see what's going on.

When I finally made it to the kitchen Kelly was holding her ankle while a panicked Itadori kept apologising.

"I don't know how it slipped from my hand! I'm so sorry. Here I'll help you to the couch-"

"Itadori seriously, it's fine. I bumped into you anyways so it was more my fault." She placed the hand that wasn't holding her ankle on his shoulder as she smiled at him reassuringly. When Itadori finally calmed down a little she left his side to go sit on the couch with Kugisaki right after her to help her get the piece of glass out of her leg.

I was about to talk to ask what exactly was going on but it seems like I'll get my answers as Kugisaki huffed before she talked. "You should really start looking at were you're going more Fushiguro. You could have seriously hurt her." She turned her head towards the boy that was now looking through the fridge but when he stayed silent a look of anger took over her face. "And answer us when we talk to you! What's gotten into you today? You're even more of an ass than usual."

"Stop making a fuss. It's just a scratch." He said as he rolled his eyes while finally closing the fridge again with a green apple now in his hand.

"I'm making a fuss?! You pushed her! Oh you-" Kugisaki was about to get up to probably punch the boy but Kelly quickly stopped her. "I'm fine Kugisaki, calm down." Kugisakis eyes softened as she looked back down at the girl that calmly sat on the sofa with a forced fake smile.

I walked over to Itadori who was still picking up pieces of glass from the floor before kneeling down next to him to help him. He looked up surprised to see me but went back to his normal expression as he muttered a quick thank you before continuing.

"Ok, you should be fine Kelly." We heard Kugisaki talk as she walked over to us. "We should get back to training. Our little break was supposed to end a few minutes ago. Maki you joining?" She said as she diverted her attention over to me. I nodded my head as I stood up with the glass in my hand. "Sure, I'll just sweep the floor first so there's no more accidents. I'll be there in a few." Kugisaki held a thumbs up before she walked out of the room with everyone else behind her to go to the training room.

I went to throw the glass away when I felt someone behind me. I looked over towards the person to see Fushiguro with the core of an apple in his hand. He throws it in the dustbin that I'm holding open then started to walk away. I quickly threw away the glass before I ran over to him to stop him. "Wait Fushiguro." I placed my hand on his shoulder to turn him around towards me. He looked at me emotionless. His eyes were still red which told me a lot about how he was still doing. I let out a breath before I got the courage to speak. "Can- can we talk about yesterday? Please? I feel like you took my words the wrong way and-" he lifts his arm up to push my hand away from his shoulder to walk away from me but I stepped in front of him again. "I didn't mean with me Fushiguro. I wanted to find you someone else." I looked up at him but he just kept looking anywhere but back at me. "I don't want anything with anyone else Maki. Stop trying to do shit that doesn't need to be done. I don't want your help, or anyone else's" he said before moving away from me.

"But you took hers yesterday." I said abruptly which made him stop in his tracks before slowly turning back towards me with a wicked look on his face. "What?"
